Expertise
The brief was to design a building to house these complex requirements within a building which reflected the client’s company ethos as market leaders in quality and scientific ability in their field.
The architecture clearly expressed two elements. A solid cube incorporating the cyclotron bunker, hot cells and plant areas is interlocked with a graceful glass pavilion which houses the people and patient spaces. The building was completed in 2005.
